I prefer to read a book, since I wear hearing aids sometimes the audio  does not do that well for me.

I still like reading books the old-fashioned way if I can. However, I do have the Kindle app that I do read from occasionally. Either way, I read the words myself and do not listen to them.

I still enjoy the feel of physical books.  Audio books are convenient but I'm old school in that way I guess.

I tried listening to a couple of audiobooks but found they are a really slow way to read books. Actual reading goes much faster and I also find it more enjoyable. I have a Kindle and have read a few books on that too, but once again find reading actual books more enjoyable. So I still take a lot of books out of my library. My library is dumping books more than 10 years old, though, so I will probably be forced to use more modern methods at some point if I want to read something older.

I don't do none, but would like to try listening to a book read.
